14.707 @ 94.141mph  DA 6300ft
car ran on street tires and had nothing but wheel spin and still pulled a better time then last years time and slicks. once we get it on slicks again it'll pull alot faster time that this with the new mods it has.

*****************************************

  

This is my wifes daily driver. we traded in her old Cavalier which had its far share of Road racing, we never got to finish modding the Cav, but we need something more comfy to drive to work daily so we got this turbo Cruiser.

 

She loves this car, and from day 2 it was already on its way to being modded.
alot of the parts that went on the Cruiser was left over parts i had or acuired for/from my SRT-4. She is loving how this car is turining out. First time the car went to the Drag strip she ran against a 08 Mustang GT and pulled him by 0.2 sec. and the guy got upset that he was beat by a girl in a 1940s style milk truck, and parked his car and didnt race the rest of the night. Quite a few people after the run came over wondering what was in that Cruiser.

 

the car is alot fast now and keeps up with modded SRT-4 and on the street whenever she reves at someone and they hear that turbo spool and BOV fire, they tell her no. I guess its fear about getting beat by a girl in a milk truck LOL.

 

Our times for the Dragstrip are off because we live in a high desert, and our DA usually is around 8k to 8.8k ft. if we were closer to sea level you'd see around a full second come off that time. Ive seen bone stock vettes run 14.5 and stock GTO 6.0 run 15.0 its not the driver but just the lack of air in our area.

I wanna say Thanks to the staff at the Auto Skills Shop/ Carwash
thanks for alowing me to work on improving this cars performance at your shop 

 

This year has been a very busy year, so far this PT have placed in 2 shows taking home a 1st place and a second, the mods keep comming and the car keeps getting faster. This fall i've been working on a custom Intercooler kit for the PT but ive been too busy with work to finish it. im hoping in the next month to have it finish and on the car, once its on we'll redyno the PT.

Thanks for the comments! If you look at some of the friends for my ride, you'll see my idea isn;t completely original, there are several other hearse PTs around. Mine is the most straightforward, but far from being the nicest or most tricked out. Hae fun with the Milk truck!

WELL WHAT EXACTLY DID YOU DO TO CUSTOM YOU INTERCOOLER? I MEAN I COULD BUY ONE THAT GOES TO AN SRT4 AND JUST CUSTOM FABRICATE TO FIT MY FRONT BUMPER IF THATS WHAT YOU MEAN JUST TO BE ON THE SAFE SIDE. THATS ANOTHER QUESTION I HAVE IS THAT MY FRIEND HAS A STAGE TWO SRT4 KIT FOR ME BUT WHAT WOULD I HAVE TO DO TO PREPARE MY CAR FOR IT. AND I HAVE THOUGHT ABOUT GETTING AN UPGRADED TURBO BUT I DIDNT KNOW IT WOULD WORK WITH MY STOCK SET UP. NOW LIKE YOU SAID BEFORE I UP MY BOOST I NEED TO SET MY AIR FUEL RATIO WHICH MAKES SENSE TO ME, SO WOULD I JUST HAVE TO GET A REALLY GOOD GAUGE SET AND BOOST CONTROLLER THAT WOULD SAFELY UP BOOST WITH OUT BLOWING MY MOTOR OR IS THERE SOMETHING IM MISSING?
